I had this idea for a while but I wasn’t sure if it was too obvious a metaphor or not. I actually really disliked this piece while it was in the studio and considered dropping it from the show a few months ago but when I viewed it in a larger space it made more sense. I’ve always been interested in how we use colour in identity, both personally and politically, and especially in US politics when every event and rally is drenched in these colours. It also reminds me of when I was 12 and watched Boyz N The Hood for the 20th time and tried to decide if I’d rather be in the Crips or the Bloods. The title is Slugger’s Paradise, a phrase used by (I think) Malachy Clerkin on the Second Captains podcast talking about the All Ireland Hurling Championship and two sides battling it out. Fuck Trump, stop the violence, up Cork ❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙
